All about money matters!

When we are younger, parents teach us to be careful with money. They teach us to spend cautiously. Right from our first salary, the general advice we get is “Beta, sab kharch mat kar dena. Thoda save karna seekho.”. Our generation is slightly different from our parents’. We not only want to earn and save, but also want to spend. To be able to spend AND save, we need slightly more money than what their generation needed. With that comes the need to have multiple sources of income and various capital building methods. How to save is something our parents have taught all of us. So, now, welcome to my blog, where we discuss ways and means of increasing your capital gradually!

Budget 2026-27 - Did I really get nothing from the budget?

When a government stays in power for too long, one characteristic becomes very prominent and it is consistency in vision. For this government, that common vision seems to be Viksit Bharat , which simply translates to Developed India. You can’t just keep building new highways while the current roads are full of potholes. Real progress means fixing today’s roads and planning tomorrow’s routes. That’s exactly what the government is trying to do by increasing capital expenditure from ₹2 lakh crore in 2014–15 to ₹12.2 lakh crore today, while simultaneously pushing reforms across multiple fronts. In line with this approach, the Union Budget 2026-27 once again signals that whether private capital expenditure rises or not, government capex will continue to increase. Reforms will also continue. New focus areas whether sector-wise or region-wise will be added, keeping both growth (~7% of GDP) and fiscal prudence (4.4% of GDP) in mind. I know it feels like “I got nothing from this budget,” ...

Budget 2021- Damned if you do, damned if you don't

Every time an Indian finance minister presents the budget, you will hear murmurs of "mujhe kya mila?" and "humare liye kya hai?" across the sections of the society. Even those getting the biggest pie that year would often feel the allocation is inadequate. Such is the need of a growing economy like ours. At the end of the budget speech, several "gurus" of economics and finance will put on their thinking caps and give their verdict: whether the budget was socialist or capitalistic? i.e. whether it benefits the poor and middle class more or the business class. Today's splendid rally in the market (5% for Nifty) gave its own verdict that in true sense the market makers believe the budget is for the greater good for the revival of Indian Economy and specifically for the Equity markets.  So, what happened in the budget? The words, the tone and most importantly the numbers showed that the government is keen on getting the economy back on track and through th...

Conservative asset classes- Cash & Gold

Cash, which had become a forgotten asset class, is regaining its importance since the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic. The current health crisis is bringing up questions about the need for having emergency funds and liquidity funds. Typically, personal finance specialists advise three months of your fixed expenses (such as rent, food, travel, EMIs, etc.) to be kept as emergency fund and additional three months of fixed expenses as liquidity fund . However, if we look at the current scenario where the health insurances are not covering some of the expenses incurred during the COVID-19 treatment and there is severe job crisis in major parts of the world, keeping only six months of cash reserve doesn’t seem to be adequate. Having said this, hoarding cash is not appropriate as well. Reserve banks across major economies have slashed interest rates severely in the past six months, which means you wouldn’t earn anything if you keep all your money in the banks. Currently, established com...
